  Specification Summary

  Characteristics

Dielectric Strength

Capacitors withstand a DC potential of 1.5 x rated 

voltage for one (1) minute without damage or break-

down. Test voltage is applied and discharged through 

a minimum resistance of 1 OHM per volt minimum.

Dissipation Factor

Polypropylene has an intrinsic dissipation factor of 

less than 2.1x 10-4 over the operating temperature 

range of -55°C to +105°C and frequencies to 1MHz.

Capacitance Range

1.0μF to 300.0μF

Capacitance Tolerance

Standard capacitance tolerance is ±5%.  Tolerance of ±3% is also 
available.

Operating Temperature Range

-55°C to +85°C

Enclosure/Construction

Polypropylene film in a polyester wrap with epoxy endfill.  Terminals 
are tin plated copper.

Voltage Rating

VAC: 300VAC to 900VAC
VDC: 450VDC to 1300VDC

Quality Control

Capacitors are tested 100% for:

 

• Capacitance

 

• Tolerance

 

• Dissipation Factor

 

• Dielectric withstanding voltage

 

• Insulation Resistance

 

• Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)

Process and inspection data are maintained on file and available

upon special request.

CAPACITANCE IN PICOFARADS

The first two digits are significant, the third represents the number of zeros

TOLERANCE

J = ±5% Also available: E = ±3% 

Marking And Date Code

All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type 5MPA, capacitance, tolerance, 

rated DC working voltage and date code. The fi�rst two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the week, i.e., 1252 is 

the 52nd week of 2012, 1202 is the second week of 2012.

Quality Assurance

Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001 and AS9100 Certified Company. Raw material inspection and the use of 

SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the EC Quality Control Manual. 

Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology, compact capacitor designs and 

establishing reliability procedures.

Units are wrapped with flame retardant insulating tape and end-filled with a flame retardant potting compound.  Current 

handling capabilities from normal line frequency currents to 83amps, RMS from 2kHz to resonant frequency.  Capacitor 

values supporting style 5 are supplied with an exclusive “bridge & bolt” construction - both with multiple internal soldered 

contact points for high current distribution.
